Question

Im have a cold can this delay my period i had had the a small cold, at least i think for like the past two weeks. It started with some white spots on my tongue then i lost my voice and then i had a sore throat and my voice is back and I have a cough. So

Answer 1

This : This could be a simple nodule or even a papilloma (wart). It could (more rarely) be caused by a malignancy. It should be evaluated by an ENT for diagnosis.

Answer 2

See you doctor : Food particles can sometimes get stuck in the throat. If this is the case and it has not resolved on its own, it may be time to see an ears, nose, and throat doctor. They can look with a thin scope and remove it. They can also confirm that it is not a foreign body but just inflammation or other cause.

Answer 3

Foreign body: Hello. I would recommend gargling with salt water until the husk from the popcorn passes. If it persists, see your ENT doctor for an endoscopy.

Answer 4

MUCUS PLUGS: Most likely mucus plugs with or without food particles.

Answer 5

Yes: Sounds like a visit to the doctor is on order.

Answer 6

As above: See u pcpnfor evaluation and treatment.

Answer 7

Dry throat: The coughing can cause a dry sensation in the throat, but you're also expelling air when you cough, which can cause irritation and dryness. We often recommend humidified air and lots of fluids for people when they get sick and cough, exactly for the reason you mentioned!

Answer 8

Need more details: There is a large list of things that can cause cough- asthma, reflux, allergy, sinus infection, nerve irritation, among others. Throat dryness can certainly be irritating and trigger a cough reflex. Simple otc treatment includes saline sinus rinse, guaifenesin, throat lozenges, antihistamines (e g loratadine), and various "coug syrups." if it lasts longer than a couple of weeks, see your doctor.
